In our Smarter Traveler segment, we talk about how both Americans and Canadians are trying to make sure the closing of Canadian ports to cruise ships and a little known US law don’t kill the Alaska cruise season.

We’ll tell you about how the cruise industry is preparing to resume sailing the world’s oceans.
